Introduction
This was the original Chesterhill. It was renamed "Washer Willy's" in the 20th century. See also the original "Washer Willy's" (real name 'Knowehead').
It has proved impossible to determine who lived in this cottage (there may even have been 2) before 1957. Name changes - Chesterhill Cottage, Cliffe Cottage - have compounded the problem. I am not certain that I have got this one correct. Inhabitants are listed here or at Inverdovat Farm Cottages. 1901 and 1911 censuses clearly refer to this as Cliff Cottage.
